About Me

I am a handweaver, a teacher and a shop owner. I have been weaving since 1994 and teaching weaving since 2000. In 2004, I started my own weaving business, The Weaver's Palette, and I'm currently in the throes of starting The Bobbin Tree, where I will teach, weave, spin, and sell supplies and equipment for all manner of fibrous pursuits.
I am a member of the Sydney Weavers' Guild, the Unspun Heroes spinning group and the Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design.

Want to be a guest scarfer?

As you may have surmised, Guest Scarves are on hold for the time being, at least until after I've started posting regularly again. I'm still ever so keen to see what other folks are weaving, though, so please keep sending your pics and links to jandawson[at]gmail[dot]com - I'd love to see them!

Weekly Schedule

This is so inaccurate it makes me wince but I'm leaving it here as a reminder -- and inspiration for next February:

All the projects, text and photos you see on Scarf A Day are the copyright of their respective authors and weavers and are offered for personal use only. You may not sell or exhibit items produced by copying these projects nor copy the text of the blog or photographs without permission. This applies to all the photos, including those without copyright watermarks. If you are unsure of what constitutes a copy or derivative work or fair use of a published design or project, please refer to the Handwoven Magazine articles on the subject which can be found on the Handwoven Magazine weaving resources page.

Having said all that, please, please, please be inspired by these projects and even try them for your own personal use and for gifts! I wouldn't be blogging if I didn't want to share and I'm sure the same is true for everyone who's willing to share guest scarves with us. :) Still, I and many of the other guest authors are trying to make a living from our craft and we'll be far less inclined to publish the particulars of our projects if we find them cropping up for sale by other weavers.

You have permission to quote my text from the blog for non-commercial use as long as you also include my name and a link to the page from which the quote is taken. This permission does not apply to guest scarf posts; for that, please contact me at jandawson[at]gmail[dot]com so that I may put you in contact with the author or weaver featured in that post.
